I know this might be an unpopular opinion, but I quite dislike hanyu's biellman. It is amazing that he is able to hit the position but whenever he does it it really slows the spin to a halt.
Anyhow, congratulations to Hanyu, Takahashi, and Fernandez for making it to the GPF! It is going to be really interesting competition
So GPF will be Patrick, Tatsuki, Taka, Dai, Yuzuru and Javier, right?
While Daisuke and Yuzuru are at the top of my list I just don't like their Free Skates this season. They were so awesome last season, both of them and now it just falls short. Oh well, I just tell myself that this is the lacklustre pre-Olympic season....at least I hope it is, program-wise.
He should not have won the FS with that performance. Thumbs dwn for the judges....
Hanyu won the TES. Whoever you think should have won was already behind in the TES department.
I'm really happy for Yuzuru. That mistake on the spin was really weird, but it was much better than SA. Last year he got better with his FS over time too, the first really good version of it was at GPF. So let's see what he does in 2 weeks
That is what I tell myself too...hopefully this means their programs will be great next year!
Plus there is that twisted horrible side of me that secretly hopes Daisuke will continue to not win and get marked lower on PCS so that he will see the error of his ways and will dump Morozov, plus go back to David Wilson and/or Pasquale Camerlengo for some real choreography for the Olympic season.
I don't speak about his TES. He is overscored in PCS. The fact that he slows down so much in the second half of his program and he drags the program to the end should be reflected a lot more.
Okay lakeside, if you're reading this -- you do have a case with PCS and Javier at this competition. It is odd that he got the same PCS as Ross who skated a beautiful FS.
